A HHonrovia Quarrel.

Charles A. Dunn was lodged in the
county jail yesterday to appear before
Judge Cheney to answer to the charge
of attempted murder brought against
him by E. NJ. Weidell, of Monrovia.
Dunn states that he had been living
at Monrovia with his wife, and that
Weidell constantly abused and threat
ened him, claiming that he was abus-
ing his wife. AS he could stand the
abuse no longer, last Monday, as Wei
dell commenced to abuse him again,
he drew a revolver and shot at him.
but the bullet missed its mark and
Weidell, running into the house,
seized shotgun, and pointing it at
him made him throw down his pistol
and marched him to the presiding
magistrate. who committed him to

les, where he also rather prematurely
! disclosed to the friends of levy his
anticipated union with Miss Rose.
This reached the ears of Mr.. Levy,
but he kept his own council.
About two weeks ago Ferner re-
sumed his old place at the home OF
his inamorata, and again made mad
love to her. In this 1t is said he was
encouraged by his sweetheart's par
ents.
Ferner, fearing that his rival might
outdo him in the hymeneal race,
quickened his desire to wed.
AT this juncture word was received
that Levy was on his way to San
Francisco. Anticipating trouble
should the two lovers meet, Miss
Roses father wisely counseled her to
visit some relatives, which advice was
readily needed.
Miss Rose accordingly left the house
Friday evening with great quieteess
The next morning Ferner sought the
marriage license department and pro-
cured the necessary authority.
Ferner was jubilant at the discom-
fiture that Levy would experience
when the latter learned that he had
been outwitted. But his elation was
shortlived, for be received summary
dismissal from the Geary-street resi-
dence the same evening. Sore and
sick at heart he loitered about, and
the next morning he noticed, with a
deep pang of jealousy, the arrival OF
Lew aud his mother
Ferner was determined not to be
and when the new arrivals
entered the house from which he had
gone he endeavored to enter. A scene
ensued. Mrs. Levy turned upon him
and pushed him from the hall Nay
Ferner resought to force his way, when |
Mrs. Levy firmly shut the door upon
the now thoroughly aroused suitor.
Just then somebody set up cry for
police, and in few moments several |
sturdy guardians OF the peace appeared |
in the distance. Their hastening steps |
seemed to soothe the wounded feel
ngs of Ferner, and he soon disap-
oeared around the corner. During
he afternoon he hung around the
house offering nothing more violent
han his silent homage.
And so all bids well to end happily.

LEVY vs.. FERNER.
A Contest for a Wife Won by the
Former.

The story of the adventures of two
Los Angeles young men who wanted
to we'd the same young lady, is given
as follows by the San Francisco Call
of Tuesday last:
An interesting little episode that
occurred on Sunday morning in a
house on Geary street, near Mason,
has forcibly impressed a young man
named Ferner that the course of true
love does not always run smooth. 1t
appears that several months ago a
young man arrived from San Diego
with no other purpose in view than to
while away few weeks in the pleas
ures OF the coast metropolis.
The fates led him to the friendly
shelter of the house on Geary street.
Here he met the author OF all his
woe, a deiuwe little maiden, whose
sparkling eyes and peachv cheeks pro-
claim with pride her 19 summers, and
who answers to the name of Rose.
When Ferner first beheld the fair
flower that cast SO benign an influ-
ence over her home the quivering dart
OI love IIldut Sttu uaNOC VI LIB IlcdTt.
He believed his attachment was not
unreciprocated.
Soon the inexorable demands OF
business called Ferner hence to his
home in the South.
Now, Miss Rose, it is said, did not
dislike Ferner, but another suitor had
the preference. He is a young gen.
tleman of determination, and is named
Levy. He conducted a profitable
cigar business in Los Angeles. His
question was received with gratify-
ing affirmative. Beside himself with,
JOY at his good luck, Levy returned to
the land of the orange blossoms and
announced to his friends his impend-
ing nuptials, which had been set for
next Sunday.
Some time after Levy's return to
his home Ferner went to Los Ange-

Mrs. N. s. ArncsOn Files a Cross
Complaint.

Defendant in the case OF Henry
Arneson vs.. Nettie Gillette, alias Net
tie S. Arneson, fled an answer and
cross-complaint in the Superior Court
yesterday, in which she says that her
real name is Nettie S. Arneson, and
that she was married to plaintiff in
May, 1888, at Calico, San Bernardino
county. She denies that she had an
other husband living at that time, as
alleged. She admitted that plaintiff
deserted her in November. 1886, and
for cross-complaint alleges that
he did and asks a divorce on that
ground. Among other things in her
cross complaint she alleges that her
husband induced her to sign, a mort
gage with him, but he received the
money and squandered it all in drink
ing and gambling. She asks that he
be forced to pay off the mortgage and
Ito pay alimony, etc.

The H. A. Society.
To the EdiIoy ofMs He,ala.

To the Editor ofhie Hetdid.
The late failure Of the horticultural
show has elected criticism from many
and feel disposed to put some Of my
views or suggestions on paper fully
believing they will remain there, and
no notice will be taken Of them.) The
place in which the exhibition was held
was too far away. Little or no provi.
sion was made for exhibitors. The
working ones Of the society had other
business to attend to. 1t was the
wrong time OF the year. These are
few OF the causes of failure; and now
for sure success. Remodel the
officers OF the society Place those in
charge, male or female, who are di-
rectly interested-that IS, those who
have articles to exhibit. Some may
have butter, others roses, orchids,
ferns, fancy fowls, etc. Now select
place; a large one is not necessary; as
near the center Of town as possible,
and the nearer Emma Square the
better, where light, serviceable build
ing can be put up, and so arranged
that all exhibits can be well displayed
and have the show open on every Sat
urday throughout the year, charging a
small entrance fee of, say, ten cents.
The reason for this plan are many.
One may have a beautiful orchid in
bloom. 1t cannot be kept back for
months or even days, but when nature
says, admire me" it must be done.
Another may have choice variety OF
roses or other fine plants. These must
be taken when they appear at Their
best. We are just now raising the
finest grapes ever seen anywhere, and
they ripen three or four months earlier
than at the Coast; also watermelons
muskmelons, canteloul =, etc. With
our rapid steam co nmrnication with
San Francisco, fruits and vegetables
can be sent there and sold at profit
but who knows anything about any o
, the aforementioned, excepting th'
growersp Yes; one can purchase hal
ripe lines, withered oranges, etc, oil
some of the street corners at San Fran
cisco prices; but with weekly show
as before stated, all these things an'
,, more will be brought into prominence
and exhibitors can sell their samples, t
an advantage to themselves and thu
,, satisfaction of the purchaser. A SHOW
of this kind will be an incentive t.
many who have no object in raising
fruits or vegetables now. This will b
: done; it may be too soon to think OF
